Dear Survivors
The good, the awesome and the bad…
It’s amazing to see all the joy and stories from players surviving in HumanitZ. We’ve broken all our records with sales, our player base and stream numbers, which is truly awesome, and I’m so proud of my team. But we’re not happy with some of the issues that occurred with the 1.0 release. Even though we’re a tiny, first-time indie dev studio, we want to do better. We’re doing everything we can to fix these issues, and a patch will be out ASAP. We’re working as fast as humanly possible.
Some of the big issues we are actively fixing are:
Falling out of the map, not getting teleported back, and getting stuck swimming underground
Various floating props
Dismantling detection issues
Zombies and animals not respawning on servers
Items disappearing in fireplaces and house generators
Horse disappearing when leaving render distance
Can’t unload the LMG
Consuming an Energy Drink in VICINITY does not count for skill unlocks
Reading a skill book not processing when read from VICINITY
Trash clean-up in houses returning when logging out and back in
Respawn points randomly affecting building in Single Player (“You Don’t Own This”)
VoIP not working for some players
Weapon break-off not working
Replication issue with stones on servers
Some props not hiding
And more
We’re really hurt by the release day review bomb, but if people don’t like certain areas of the game (like controls, etc.) or just want to leave feedback, that is totally fine. We’ll take everything on board and do our best to improve. There is also a free demo to try if you’re new to survival games, or if you want to see if HumanitZ is for you.
But truly, thank you for all the love and support. We haven’t been able to celebrate the release due to all the work we still have to do, so if you are enjoying the game, please let us know, we need all the positivity right now to help us dig deep and get these fixes pushed out to you awesome Survivors.
Thank you,
Yozza
